I have a sort of mixed reaction when sites change things, usually both "You BASTARDS!" and "Hey, maybe they fixed the things that were annoying in the past." I also try to retain a healthy skepticism for my own dislike of change just because.

But it's really a control issue. For all it's public, LJ is very personal, even its social aspects, and any sudden change to that is a removal of control. That's ... obnoxious.

But at this point it would take a great deal more fuckery to get me to jump ship. For all the stupid changes, I really LIKE it here.
